Pairing: Gintoki x Hijikata

Would it be an exaggeration to call this an autobiographical novel?! Written by Mukai of the comic duo "Tenshin", this is the story of a comedian who has been out of the spotlight for over a decade and a beautiful first-year newcomer in a training school for entertainers. The curtain rises on a realistic comedy! (Source: Shogakukan, translated)

Luce had one dream: to become a saint. After years of hard training at the Arcana Monastery, her efforts finally paid off—she became the top candidate for one of the legendary “Three Great Saints,” specifically the Saint of Light. …Until she was suddenly rejected for one outrageous reason: “You’re not beautiful enough.” Kicked out of the monastery over something as shallow as her appearance, Luce finds herself aimless—until she meets Francesco, a dashing and roguish monk at a local tavern. His proposal? “Let’s team up and make a killing exorcising evil spirits!” A former would-be saint and a money-hungry monk form an unlikely duo in this hilarious and heartwarming exorcism comedy! https://www.cmoa.jp/title/332533/
